I am married with 3 young children. I have been crafting since 1991. I
started out learning 3d decoupage and made mainly pictures. There was
no die cutting in those days so I used to cut out each layer with a craft
knife. One picture took me 22 hours! I then changed over to card
making but still using 3d "traditional" decoupage. I played around a
bit with Rubber stamping and colouring but found that the lack of tools/pens
available back then hindered a good result or I just wasn't any good at
it! A few years ago I discovered die cuts and chalk and found it
relaxing to sit and chalk and make up toppers. Then I met a lovely lady
and now fab friend (and fellow DT Member) who purchased one of my toppers. She was into
stamping and colouring and she introduced me to ProMarkers and the
wonderful world of Digi Stamps and encouraged me to have another go at
colouring. I have never looked back. I love colouring both digi and
rubber stamps and experimenting with colours. I have also experimented with different Pens but I don't think I can ever be separated from my ProMarkers. I love the CAS style and also Monochrome/GreyScale and White on White. I am particularly fond of all things Mythical and Magical with Unicorns being my favourite Mythical Creature.

That's about it from me other than I would like to say Thank you to my two Team Mates who have been helping get this Challenge Blog up and running. Without them this wouldn't be possible so Thank You Ladies!

I hope that you like my White on White Creation and will join in with our Challenges once they go live on September 1st and also don't forget the Guest Designer Call Out which will be live for the whole of June so if you would like to be our Guest Designer for our October Challenge please come along and link up your blog. We can't wait to visit you!

I'm Claire and I love to cross
stitch! I live in Hampshire with my husband of nearly 12 years and our 7
year old son. We have a cat who is not helpful when I'm trying to
craft! I've been stitching since I was small, I used to do one big
picture at a time but am running out of wall space so had to become more
selective. I started making small cross stitch pictures to make into
cards a couple of years ago, they weren't very good back then, just the
stitching in an aperture card. I've gradually become more adventurous
with background papers and embellishments and started entering challenge
blogs in January. I'm now beginning to colour digital stamps with
promarkers but art was never my strong suit so I am struggling with the
shading. I hope to have something of a good enough standard to blog by
the end of the year. I still do the big cross stitch pictures, I'm
doing a reindeer that I'm determined will be a cushion by Christmas.
Then I have a picture of an oriental scene in a fan shape to do and
then the biggie - a Heaven and Earth design called Treasure Hunt
Bookshelf. It is a beautiful picture but the chart is over 50 pages long
so it's going to take years! Can't wait to get started though!

Here's something on a smaller scale that I have made recently.

Hi, I'm Traci.I live in
Leicester with my beloved pooches whom are not very forgiving when Im crafting
and my attention is taken away from them, they like to be the centre of my attention!!

I have been crafting for many years where I enjoyed cross stitching and
knitting. I was only introduced to card making some 3 years ago and was
instantly drawn in. This is definitely my addiction. I adore colouring to the
point of obsession!The cards that I
make I donate to various animal charities.I am thrilled to be a part of Unicorn... my fellow DT members are my
craft family.I am blessed to have these
girls as friends.

The card I have made here I think sums me up totally.If I can make anything pink, add glitter and finish with pearls then I am in my element
